Trip planning. The Alaska Rugby Union has a partnership with the Ramada Inn that we get a summer rugby rate equal to the winter rate and discounted food in adjacent Slippery Salmon bar and grill. Some teams in the early bird category may be eligible to stay onsite at the grounds apartments and cabins and a food plan can be worked out. RVs and tent camping also available on site.
To constantly improve the tournament, rules may be changed or amended without notice.
